A third-generation borough resident, Madeline Brewer began taking music lessons and acting in local productions before she was 10.
Her actor-musician father, Mark, teaches history at middle school in Williamstown, and her mother, Laurie, is chief of staff in the New Jersey Office of the Ombudsman for the Institutionalized Elderly.
“I could tell she had talent when she was 8 and in A Christmas Carol,’ ” Mark Brewer, 58, recalls. “She was dynamic, magnetic.”
“Every time she was on stage, I would stop in my tracks,” Counsellor says. “As a performer, she just demanded attention.”
While local audiences are a bit more conservative than those in, say, Manhattan, Counsellor says Orange won’t prove too much for Pitman.
“It’s a traditional town, but I think broad-minded enough to accept it,” agrees Richardson, 77. “Of course I’m going to watch.”
Brewer’s dad acknowledges that he is “not exactly excited about the fact this a pretty raw show.”
But he adds: “As long as Madeline doesn’t compromise herself or her own values, I’m OK with it.”

Says Laurie Brewer: “She’s a nice girl, and she loves her family, and I think that comes across to people who know her.
“This is a role that’s different from who she is,” she adds. “I’m not apprehensive about it, I’m very excited about it. I’m happy she’s part of something I expect will be very successful.”
Her daughter hasn’t let any hype go to her head.
“I’m a total Pitman kid,” she says. “I really love my hometown. I carry that with me.”

So Turns Out That When Tricia Left OITNB, She Went Right Back To Waiting Tables (Sept 2013)

Guys. My mind has just been blown. I’ve been so obsessed with Orange Is The New Black that I just assumed these ladies were celebrities to everyone, not just me. So I assumed that even those people whose characters are no longer on the show were spending their days on white sand beaches, bathing in champagne and counting their diamonds. That’s how good this show is.
It never occurred to me to wonder what people like twenty-one year old Madeline Brewer, who played Tricia Miller on the show up until she…um…didn’t, were doing with their lives now that they’re no longer filming. (I’d tell you why she’s no longer on the show, but I’ve become super wary of spoilers based on the rabid reactions of some Game Of Thrones fans I inadvertently riled up. And then advertently riled up. Let’s pretend that’s a word.)

Apparently our manager Ling thinks we were being a little too chatty at the server station. #serverlife pic.twitter.com/hteC4egWzL

GUYS DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. This means you could be sitting at a cafe on the Upper West Side of New York City (these are all the details I’ve been able to glean so far) and you could be approached by your server, Tricia Miller. You could be like, “Hey Tricia — no I will not call you Madeline — what a joy it is to see you off the drugs. Congratulations on pulling your life together. How was your time at Litchfield? Please promptly sit down and tell me everything, and I will tip you for your efforts.”
But as exciting as that daydream is, now that I’ve reenacted it in my head ten thousand times, I also want this post to be a call to action for casting directors. Madeline Brewer should not still be working at a restaurant and told to STFU by her manager Ling. As someone who served at a restaurant myself for two years and eight months of abject misery, I’m making it my personal mission to get her out of that nonsense in the postest of hastes. Because this girl is awesome.

‘Orange Is the New Black’ star encourages students (March 22, 2014)

As an actress known for her role as the cornrowed, tattooed, and drug-addicted Tricia on Orange Is the New Black, Brewer finds many of those insecurities remain despite her success.
“Everybody struggles with things, and although you can think someone is the most put-together person, everybody struggles. There’s always something to overcome,” Brewer said, noting the entertainment industry can be “very unforgiving to women. Everybody wants the coveted thigh gap, whatever that means, and the flawless skin. It causes some serious self-doubt.”
Brewer, 22, Miss Pitman 2010 and a former member of the Gloucester County Children’s Choir, returned home to speak at the second annual Schools United for Respect and Equality Summit, held at Rowan University.
The SURE program, put on by the county in conjunction with the Prosecutor’s Office, brought together about 350 students from local high schools for workshops, presentations, and performances on the themes of human rights, antibullying, self-esteem, and peer support.
Brewer’s longtime friend and former fellow choirmember Kaylin Young, 16, invited her to the summit. The two have known each other since elementary school singing in the choir, Brewer as a soprano, Young an alto.
“I thought of her immediately because she grew up in a small town but she had big dreams,” said Young, who aspires to be a fashion designer.
Brewer, who graduated from Pitman High about four years ago, appearing nervous at times, encouraged students to meet different people and leave their comfort zones. Her path took her to New York for school and her role in Orange and then on to Toronto, where she just completed filming the second season of another Netflix series, Hemlock Grove.
Her mother, Laurie, who attended the event, said Brewer’s journey hadn’t been without challenges. Her first night of filming Orange, Brewer was robbed at knifepoint while walking home to her apartment in Queens.
“She’s in her Tricia braids, with her neck tattoo, as badass-looking as she’s ever been in her life, and she gets mugged,” Laurie Brewer said. “She was really afraid after that, but, you know, she got back on the horse. She had a job to do. And she took more cabs.”

Pitman native Madeline Brewer to star on Netflix’s ‘Hemlock Grove’ (July 2014)

Madeline Brewer was on her way to becoming a household name when she was crowned Miss Pitman in 2010.
When she went to chase her dreams in musical theater, her hometown made sure to keep up with her activities at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy College and Conservatory of Performing Arts in New York City.
And then, in July 2013, the hometown girl got her shiney, blonde locks corn-rowed, her beauty queen neck tattooed and portrayed inmate Tricia Miller on the hit Netflix show, “Orange is the New Black.”
“I just went to a birthday party for some of the girls,” Madeline said of her “Orange” cast mates. “It’s amazing to still feel like part of that family. Now I have all these Twitter and Facebook followers. I’m just very lucky.”
And that lucky streak continues as she prepares for the July 11 premiere of season two of “Hemlock Grove,” another Netflix hit, on which she will play newcomer Miranda Cates.
“When I auditioned for ‘Hemlock Grove,’ they had been looking for someone (to play Miranda) for about five months,” Madeline said. “I auditioned on a Tuesday and was in Canada by Wednesday. It almost seems like they had been waiting for me.”
Miranda Cates is a graphic artist who stumbles into Hemlock Grove.
“At first, you see Miranda’s tough outer shell and wonder if she’s going to screw up everything that was resolved last season,” Madeline said of her newest character. “Will she be a villain, or will she bring the guys back together and be like a beacon of light. You’re not really sure what way she’s going to go.”
Brewer’s character goes through “a vast change” throughout the season. 
“She was really fun to explore,” she said.
Madeline’s mother Laurie Facciarossa, of Pitman, said she’s finally starting to get used to her daughter’s success.
“There are days when it sweeps over me that she has come a very long way in just two years,” Facciarossa said. “None of us realized, at the time, how big ‘Orange is the New Black’ was going to be.”
Even though Madeline’s character was killed off on season one of “Orange is the New Black,” the role made a huge impression on her, as well as fans of the show.
“After ‘Orange’ wrapped and my character wrapped, I felt like I went through a bit of a mourning period,” she remembered. “(Tricia) was my first television character and the first character I helped to create, so I missed looking into the mirror and seeing her.”
She said because Tricia was her first television role, she wasn’t really sure how to approach her.
“A lot was based on things that were happening in my life at the time, so I had a strong connection to her, and when she was gone and I couldn’t play her, I was a little lost and missed her,” she said.
However, she’s ready for this new challenge on “Hemlock Grove.”
“Miranda is a completely different character,” Madeline said. “With any character, you have to put part of yourself into it because we are the soul that brings that character to life.”
But Miranda is “vastly different” from Tricia, Madeline said.
“Tricia was tough, but vulnerable,” she said. “Miranda is more in your face. She’s not afraid to speak her mind.”
Facciarossa said she’s excited to see her daughter take on this new role, and is extremely proud of what Madeline has accomplished so far.
“I had to prepare to watch her on ‘Orange is the New Black,'” she said. “She played a heroine addict which is no where near the person who she really is, but she threw herself into it. She made Tricia a hard-core addict, but also vulnerable and lovable. After the character died, I missed  her.”
Facciarossa said, eventually, she forgot she was watching her daughter on screen.
“I had to get over the initial shock of seeing her on TV,” Facciarossa said. “I’ve watched television my entire life, but I’ve never seen someone I know so well and love so deeply on screen doing that work. At first, I was just watching my daughter act. But then after a while, I was watching Tricia.”
Madeline said she hopes Miranda will last longer than Tricia did.
“You want (your character) to progress through the season or as long as you can play them. My hope for her is that she doesn’t die, so I don’t have to lose another character,” she laughed. “You have to tune in to see what happens to her.”
